The instructions for that step no longer tell it to list the `logs\/` folder or read the dated session logs inside it, which used to be its main source. It now reviews recent entries in a `sessions\/` folder, if that folder exists.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes what the model looks at when it consolidates memory.\n\n- Area: Memory\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
